fans binge-watch her new documentary and broke down in tears over Princess and Junior's emotional revelations. 

Princess and brother Junior shared insight into their childhood with their mum as they appeared on her new Sky documentary Katie Price: Nothing To Hide, where they looked back at Katie's public breakdown in the late 2010s.

Katie went off the rails following the collapse of her marriage to third husband , spiralling into  and developing a cocaine addiction. 

At the time Junior and Princess were just 13 and 10 respectively and began to start fending for themselves and their younger siblings Jett and Bunny, then four and three.

And after watching the emotional scenes, fans have taken to X to share that Katie is 'lucky to have such a grounded sensible family' and that they were 'crying' with Princess and Junior during their emotional interviews. 

One fan wrote: 'Like or dislike her, love her or hate her, this documentary is in my opinion quite an eye-opener.

Princess and Junior shared insight into their childhood with their mum as they appeared on her new Sky documentary, where they looked back at Katie's public breakdown in the late 2010s

'If I was to have any advice for Katie, having watched it, it would be to have her current marriage annulled/get a divorce and to embrace a single life for a while.

'She has a family and friends that genuinely care about and love her. It would be great if she could find just an ounce of the love she has for others, for herself. If she did, I’m sure her life would become just as she wished.'

A second said: 'I’ve watched the Katie price new documentary and moment junior and princess cried I just cried'.

A third agreed: 'Started the Katie price documentary. Say what you want about her but she's been an amazing mum to Harvey, however when princess & junior started crying because of their upbringing. It made me fill up'.  

'Binge-watched the Katie Price documentary. The takeaways:- 1) She will never get over Peter Andre. 2) She is lucky to have such a grounded, sensible family (Mom, Stepdad, Sister, Brother, Junior & Princess). 3) Her brother is lovely', penned another.

Reflecting on the chaotic years in the documentary, Junior confessed: 'That was probably the most difficult time of my life, our lives', as Princess agreed: 'I didn't know what was going on and I couldn't talk to mum about it because she wasn't there.' 

Junior, now 21, continued: 'And when she was there, she wasn't there, and we as siblings just kind of looked after each other. 

'I remember me trying to figure out if food was microwavable to feed us for dinner.'

Recalling one painful memory, Princess shared: 'She'd give me a blanket and spray her perfume on it and that was my attachment to her. 

'I used to go home and feel so lonely I would just cuddle the blanket and cry.' 

Junior added: 'I missed her so much.' 

Thinking back to one vivid memory, he continued: 'I was in her bed waiting for her to come back and I woke up at 3.30am to loud noises.

'She came in the room, I'll never forget the look on her face. She was obviously on stuff and it scared me, I'd never seen my mum like this. 

And after watching the emotional scenes, fans have taken to X to share that Katie is 'lucky to have such a grounded sensible family'

'The mum that I knew from when I was a little boy, the amount of love she gave me was so immense, that's what I missed so much. 

'Mum was on drugs and she couldn't look after us and that was the reality of it. 

'Then I got fed up and clocked this was a very unhealthfy environment and I needed to get out.' 

At the age of 14, Junior then left the family home to live with dad Peter, while Princess decided to stay, explaining: 'I always wanted to be there for her but she didn't understand that at the time because she was so hooked up in her own problems.'

Junior continued: 'Thank god that my dad was stable because that's the house that I went to and gained my sanity back while I was wishing and hoping that my mum would come back and turn herself around. 

'It made me feel like I wasn't good enough because she wasn't fixing herself for me, she wasn't thinking herself for us - why?' 

Things came to a head when Katie, who was battling suicidal thoughts, flipped her car while driving under the influence in the early hours of the morning in September 2021. 

Discussing the chaotic few years in the lead up to the crash, Katie shared: 'When I hear how the kids saw it, it breaks my heart. 

'They were still always looked after by people around me, but that's not good enough, kids need their mum. 

'They need their mum's love and their mum's hugs. I thought I was giving that but obviously I wasn't. 

'It must have been horrible for them and I'm just sorry that I put them through that. 

'I thought I was doing the best I could with them but what could I have done, I was unwell. I couldn't even look after myself. I didn't want to be here, I wanted to die.' 

Following the crash, Katie pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

She was handed a 16-week suspended sentence and a two year driving ban, as well as a court mandated stay in rehab, where she received a diagnosis of ADHD. 

'I'm just relieved she's still here,' Junior mused. 'I think trying to end your life must wake you up. She helped herself and she got off the drugs. 

'I feel a duty of care to her, she's such a special gem, she's my mum and I've only got one. 

'I feel like I've got my mum back. My mum knows she's crazy but we love her for it and we'll always be there for her.'

He added that his one hope for the future was that Katie would stop relying on the validation of men.

Junior explained: 'I wish she finds more comfort within herself. I want her to start enjoying her own company more.' 

Discussing his reaction to the news Katie married Lee Andrews in Dubai after days of knowing him, Junior sighed: 'This is the most silliest, stupidest thing. 

'Marrying a guy you don't even know, this just sums it up, this is my mum, this is what she does.'

In the documentary, Katie had described her ideal man, saying they had to be older, able to treat her, someone who won't leech on her and isn't looking for fame. 

During filming, it emerged that Katie had met and married her fourth husband - so-called businessman Lee. 

Lee has been accused by multiple exes of conning them, most recently being accused of taking £5,000 from a 'vulnerable woman' in another alleged scam.

He has denied being involved in any cons. 

Lee then set the internet alight after he seemingly disappeared into thin air, after Katie initially claimed he had been kidnapped. It then emerged Lee was being held at Dubai's notorious Al-Awir prison.

Despite mounting evidence that fraud was the cause for his arrest, self-proclaimed 'millionaire' Lee insisted that he was imprisoned on suspicion of espionage 'and held in a state security building' before being taken to prison over 'a civil case in Dubai'.

In an Instagram post shared in the early hours of Wednesday, Lee continued to insist there is 'not one shred of evidence' that he has been charged with fraud, hitting out at his ex fiancée Alana for spreading the story.

He claimed he was 'taken to the Qatar border by the men, at gunpoint and was captured by men with assault rifles' before adding: 'They did slap me round a little bit, little s***s.'

Lee is Katie's fourth husband. She was first married to Peter Andre for three years until 2009. 

Nine months later she tied the knot again with cage fighter Alex Reid, who also appeared on the documentary and expressed his distaste at Katie publicly discussing their sex life in interviews. 

They separated in January 2011 and exactly two years later she wed Kieran Hayler, the father of her youngest children. They split in 2018 after he admitted to being unfaithful multiple times throughout their marriage.
